  • Publication number: 20070149084
    Abstract: A core component includes a natural fiber portion and a binder portion. The natural fiber portion and the binder portion are combined together, either partially or fully, so as to form a substantially homogenous material. Natural fibers can include: (1) bast fibers such as hemp, flax, kenaf, ramie, jute, and/or the like; (2) leaf fibers such as henequen, abaca, and/or the like; and (3) seed fibers such as cotton and/or the like. The core component can be used in conjunction with a composite structure, e.g., after formation of the core component, a reinforcing material (e.g., glass fibers, carbon fibers, aramid fibers and/or the like) can be placed on either side of the core component and injected with a resin material to form the composite structure. The resin material can be comprised of any number of polymeric materials, such as but not limited to thermoplastics, thermosets, and/or the like.
